AfD tops poll with highest support ever

The poll, conducted by the Insa institute on behalf of tabloid newspaper Bild

"News" articles like these normalize the Neonazis in the zeitgeist. It's part of a Europe wide campaign to normalize nazism. People like to blame Russia for this but forget the EU is getting spitroasted on this one. The biggest boost to the far-righ Europe-wide happened after Bannon came to Europe to finance and unite Neonazi parties to destabilize us. The far right in the Iberian peninsula, Italy and Scandinavia entered light speed after that injection of capital and wealthy supporters. We keep looking to the east and forgot to protect against the west.

On that note, Springer should make justice to his name and defenestrate.

Bannon was probably a courier for Putler's money.
- I would find that unsurprising, although, putler, much like the pedophile in chief, is a symptom. It's the manifestation of "we see it we take it" primitive human sectors of society. And these are gaining ground.

The polls are oftentimes not really representative.

Beyond that, the weekly media coverage is like free advertising and leads to a astonishingly self full-filling prophecy.

You're right. But the trend is there, unfortunately. Fuck DW for pushing it.
- If it's a real trend, hiding it would be problematic in itself.
Yes, but it helps the 'Bild' newspaper that contracted the poll. Its publisher Axel Springer media cares for the clicks it produces only.

I am ashamed of my fellow citizens who actually see these fascists as an alternative to democratic parties.

Just.fucking why Germany.

As a German I wish I knew. You see what’s happening in the US and think „yeah, that’s fine. I want that here“ somehow? It’s such a shit show.
- How are you surprised that people brain-washed by the same media and social media controlled by the same oligarchs and foreign actors 24/7 develop the exact same delusions?
- Humans are animals. That's why.
- and think
  I found the error in your reasoning
It's very largely Putin.
We know about how he made Ukraine's far right stronger and stronger until 2014, but there's less talk about how he has done the same everywhere in the countries that used to be under Soviet rule. And then, around 2014, he started seriously expanding the same to the west, as well.
Because Germany has made a big effort picturing Soviet Union as a hero country that saved Germany from Nazis, anything that would be somehow against the Russia has been traditionally seen as pro-Nazi. So, it's extremely difficult to talk in Germany about how the Russia is doing evil things. In Germany the Russia has had exceptionally free hands to operate. And they've used the opportunity. AfD is an offshoot of Kremlin.
- isnt russia largely funding AFD, and promoting thier propaganda too.
- I totally agree Russia adds a lot of fuel to this fire, but it's not like they started it or are the only one tending it. Far-right everywhere uses the narrative of 'your country is changing and it's all because of immigrants', but don't forget they are exploiting an underlying fear that was already there.
- AfD is an offshoot of Kremlin.
  What's your reason to believe this? Russia must have supported the opposition to gain some control, but the AfD was made popular by constant media attention, like this poll is published.
  In comparison to other parties there were constant reminders that the AfD exists. Die Linke and BSW don't receive the same attention and other right wing parties like NPD or Republikaner didn't.
  The media is controlled by the German elite. They are either ridiculously incompetent or they chose to make AfD popular.
Propaganda works, that's why. While we're at it, ask all the silicon valley social media companies why they're pushing this crap.
- why they're pushing this crap.
  What else? Money.
- Short answer: profits.
  Long answer: proooooooofiiiiiiiiiiiits.

Is WW3 going to be a remix of WW1?

I wonder how Germany gets its two theaters these days. Wouldn't be a proper world war without Germany fighting in the East and West and getting crushed. I mean Russia as enemy in the East is set. I wonder whether the financial crisis brewing in France will lead a German right-wing government to try to impose measures like they did with Greece, but France will have none of it.
Then Germany will have this crazy plan to invade via Belgium to impose a debt brake on France. They won't see it coming a third time.
- With all the US bases, the nuclear war will be held in and over Germany. Technically that's not a two front war but you can take comfort in Germany being crushed properly and maybe permanently.
WW1, not WW2?
I haven't heard of the AfD crown prince.
- Archduke Franz ferDinand.
